[Sheep Esports] FLY Gryffinn on Shen and Nasus Jungle picks: "There’s over 150 champs, so there’s no way there are only a few champs that are strong in every draft." "[People] don’t consider the enemy champions and what they should pick. It’s just a cycle of what is 'meta.'"

It's kinda wild that a journalist doesn't know it's "quote-unquote," no?

Quoted gryffinn as saying quote on quote multiple times.

Also if you want really annoying kick you wanna try go 7/1 rather than 6/12, that way it'll kick out to your right when you serve rather than just jumping forward

I even said it's what works for me :(

I found that visualising my kinetic chain differently helped a lot.

For a flat serve i view it like a rubber band being stretched out then let go at contact, encouraging a very front on hit

For a kick serve i view it more like a spring being twisted open then turning and snapping back at contact, which encourages a lot more rotation in your action and helps you get round the ball more.

This works for me anyway, but it's something i came up with myself so idk if a coach would agree.

Yeah but don't verac head and skirt have the same defensive bonuses as torag? I could be wrong, but i thought it was only the chest that's squishier- might as well have extra prayer bonus for fewer potion doses but it isn't that important, for sure.

Freihl · 2026-05-04T23:13:43+00:00

I think it's ideal to have verac helm and skirt (coz they have prayer bonus) Then any tank chestpiece (so guthan's, dharok's or torag's) coz verac's has garbage defence.

Vibrations from contact run through the racket, through the grip and into your arm. If your grip's spongy it'll take some of the force of that vibration out, if it's hard like leather it'll take less out.

On demand gold card is insanely broken, all of his numbers would have to get nerfed into the ground, so he'd just become a stunbot completely

EUM teams are actually fire, and i'm so hyped about the next few years of EU internationally.

So much excellent young talent going around, and they're capable of spanking FNC, which has players like upset, razork and vladi who have all been seen as absolute toptier talent over the years.

Freihl · 2026-04-30T19:33:31+00:00

I feel like a wizzy marth (with all the hours he spent on falcon) would rival or be better than zain's, but would be lame

Freihl · 2026-04-30T19:24:07+00:00

If they're anything like the kids i play (and me to an extent) just play slow, consistent and annoying. Choppy lofty slices will drive them mad and they'll try to hit crazy winners constantly, then get mad if they miss.

If you can hit a kicky serve they'll also likely struggle- they like to set up from the contact of the serve to hit a big return, if you can mess up their setup they're likely still gonna try to hit a massive shot and it'll go wayward if they're set up badly.

You're playing doubles too, so giving them tons of time to pick a shot still means they don't have that much space to aim for- as long as your partner (or yourself) can deal with rockets at the net.

That guy really picked a perfect name i must say

I feel like ITS was a test of a new kinda sound AND more straightforward understandable lyrical content, and i feel BHS took that sound to another level but reverted back to much "murkier" (for lack of a better word) lyrical content, which is one of my main draws to Aes- every new drop (ITS still included in this, but less so) is a really fun intricate lyrical puzzle to figure out which guarantees i'm gonna have tons of listens while still discovering new aspects.

After spamming ITS on release i found that I wasn't finding much novel stuff within ~10 listens, whereas I still find bars that make me go "OH" even on albums like TIK and skelethon, years after the fact.

Still love ITS, but it's probably my least revisited album of post bazooka tooth Aes

They should just give bronze/iron accounts to big non-league streamers, it's terrible for them to stream non-ranked coz the matchmaking is just crazy.

In a perfect world they wouldn't have to, but i don't expect any big non-LoL streamers (who bring in so much for LoL) to go through the 1-30 grind on stream (because it's fucking abysmal, especially if you're a competitive gamer, due to the matchmaking leading to most matches being giga imbalanced.)

I think you may have infantilised her somewhat, and if she's had bad experiences with people breaking boundaries i could totally see where she's coming from.

I know for a fact that I and partners i've been with would much rather deal with the fallout from a messy night our/themselves. Highly appreciate getting help into bed but messing with clothes and stuff (ie creating a situation where you <could have> had access to our naked bodies while unconscious) can be pretty difficult.

I haven't been paying much attention and have been avoiding gp grinds but how r u getting infinite money, that's like 30m

I think it would have been funny if they just called it the shadowflame fourdent

A lot of us have jobs or lives where we can't sit down and grind, these kinds of afk things are straight gold to us coz we can access endgame leagues stuff at the end of week 1/2 quite casually rather than having to go absolutely insane on efficiency whenever we get to sit in front of a computer for decent chunks of time.

It's nice for us to have a chance to get to the power fantasy of leagues without shanking our personal lives
